Warnings and Hazards
WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK
Opening the BDA (bi-directional amplifier) could result in electric shock and may cause severe injury.
WARNING! EXPOSURE TO RF
Working with the repeater while in operation, may expose the technician to RF electromagnetic fields
that exceed FCC rules for human exposure. Visit the FCC website at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety
to learn more about the effects of exposure to RF electromagnetic fields.
WARNING! DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT
Operating the BDA with antennas in very close proximity facing each other could lead to severe damage to the repeater.
RF EXPOSURE & ANTENNA PLACEMENT
Actual separation distance is determined upon gain of antenna used.
Please maintain a minimum safe distance of at least 8 inch while operating near the donor and the server antennas.
Also, the donor antenna needs to be mounted outdoors on a permanent structure.
WARRANTY
Unauthorized opening or tampering the BDA will void all warranties.
One-year Warranty will start when the ownership of CoverCell25KN Repeater is transferring.
!CAUTION: REPEATER SHOULD BE INSTALLED AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO POWER SOURCE.
!CAUTION: THIS REPEATER IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY AND SHOULD BE LOCATED INSIDE OF BUILDING.
!CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY ON CONTROLLER BOARD IS REPLACED WITH AN INCORRECT TYPE.

Mounting Repeater
Masonry Wall
1. Using a pencil, mark the location of each of the mounting bracket's four mounting holes on the wall.
2. Drill holes in the wall at the locations marked in step 1.
3. Set the anchors in the wall using a hammer.
4. Locate the four mounting bolts and place a lock washer and flat washer on each bolt.
5. Place the mounting bracket over the four holes with anchors, making sure that the washers are on the
repeater side of the mounting bracket. Tighten bolts until secure.

Warning: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation The radiated output power
of this device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.
Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that the potential
for human contact during normal operation is minimized. In order to avoid
the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human
proximity to the antenna should not be less than 20cm during normal
operation. The gain of the antenna is 2 dBi. The antenna(s) used for this
transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
